Making some beef jerky today.
Actually the first time since I've got my newer, larger dehydrator that I'll be using it for meat at all...been since January, you'd think I'd have tried it by now...but it's been all about the fruit.

Anyways, bought a pretty large rump, had it pre-sliced into steaks, with most of the fat removed - in hindsight I could have kept that for rendering..ah well..

Of course, I sliced it into smaller pieces myself, more like strips.
Fastidiously removed even the tiniest bits of fat and got rid of some sinew...ended up with some animal food and some stewing/curry meat leaft over for later use.

So I'm doing a few different types.

My "original" which is just worcestershire, some salt, cracked black pepper and a little corriander powder mixed through.

My "other" one I make is also a touch of worcestershire, some bbq sauce, minced pineapple, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, tiny bit of sugar and some habanero paste. Quite hot. Sweet.

I'm trying out...

Honey and black pepper.
Kaffir lime leaf and red chilli
Chili/ginger "jam".
Some ginger/coconut curry
and some simple 5-spice.

So yeah, that's me for today.
